The middle of act of any story, one book or a trilogy, is ALWAYS the weakest part.

You are right for most of what I've read, but not all
>reading a trilogy
I think the weakness lies in that fact alone.

Did you miss that first part? Literally applies for any story regardless of length.

It's not a continuous story. Otherwise they would be also published as one book and said book would be commonplace and easy to find.
Stories don't have acts, plays do. I guess you're talking Shakespeare. Same with books. They can have different parts, but it's all one continuous read. (P.S. They're called chapters.)
There's no shame in enjoying some sci fi / fantasy trilogy. I was just poking fun at it.

Circe in Ulysses is right about in the middle, and it's the chapter that symbolizes the entire work in a certain sense, and I like it better than the Stephen opening and Molly ending.
If a writer is talented enough, the beginning and end are easy, bc they have to be a form of pandering, the opening to make the reader interested, the end to define what the reader feels about the text when they've finished.
It's a lot more impressive when a writer makes the center/body of a narrative more interesting, and it's the sign of a stronger work. The beginning and the end are usually dependent upon the motions of plot, but the center should be a beautiful murky mess of language and character.

Wuthering Heights has its climax half-way through the actual book and the rest is slow and depressing.
